Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A structural engineer analyzes a four-story building. If the dead load is estimated to be 200,000 lbs and live loads expected during peak usage are 150,000 lbs, what total load must the builder design for?
💡 Hint: Add both types of loads together for the total.
Question 2
A building experiences 10 mph steady wind. Calculate the expected wind load if its surface area exposed to wind is 500 sq ft, knowing wind pressure is typically 0.0024 x (velocity^2).
💡 Hint: Use the formula given with the surface area.
